Student Refugee Program

Red River College is pleased to welcome the Student Refugee Program (SRP) through World University Service of Canada (WUSC) on our campuses. This program sponsors a student in refugee camp to come to Canada to pursue post-secondary education at the College and share this experience of going from Camp to Campus with the College community.

The program supports the student in this journey to settle in Manitoba and study at the College while at the same time promotes on-campus opportunities for global citizenship for all staff and students.

Change the World Through Education
